Colorado Presidential Election Voting History - 270toWin (original) (raw)
Colorado gained statehood in August 1876. After voting primarily Republican from 1920-2004, the state has voted with the Democrats in the last five presidential elections, including Kamala Harris's 11% margin in 2004.
In recent decades, Colorado’s population has been growing more quickly than that of the country. This has led to a corresponding increase in electoral votes, from six as recently as 1968 to 10 after the 2020 Census.
